Desert Canyon Golf Resort

About Desert Canyon Golf Resort

Tucked into the high desert landscape along the Columbia River, this hidden gem delivers one of Washington's most distinctive golf experiences. The routing takes full advantage of the dramatic terrain changes and sweeping river views, with elevated tees that showcase the raw beauty of central Washington's canyon country. What sets this course apart is how it embraces rather than fights the natural desert environment, expect firm, fast conditions that reward strategic play over brute force. The 4.5-star rating from over 300 reviews tells the story of a course that consistently exceeds expectations, particularly given its remote location in tiny Orondo. Walking is encouraged here, and you'll want to take your time soaking in views that stretch across the Columbia to the Cascade foothills. This isn't a course you stumble upon by accident, but golfers who make the drive consistently rave about both the unique desert setting and surprising conditioning for a resort track in the middle of nowhere.
